Under Redhat I'm running Emacs 21.2. I'm used to running Emacs 21.2. I don't have to be editing a file at all, just trying to use the built in help system. Actually, it is primarily the help system that is causing the problems. >Try `C-u 0 M-x global-font-lock-mode' to turn Global Font Lock mode off. I already have global-font-lock-mode off.

They are set to the "default", which is what I like them set too. On everything but redhat, the default is what I want. Even if I compile my own emacs, they appear when I run it on a redhat box. -- William Colburn, "Sysprog" Computer Center, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology http://www.nmt.edu/tcc/ http://www.nmt.edu/~wcolburn
